Second Year Initiative 

Students in their second year at FSU now have a new resource: the Second Year Initiative (SYI).  SYI is designed to assist undeclared students between the end of their first year and the point at which they are accepted into a major program. We do this in a variety of ways:

  • Second-Year Advisement: Undeclared students in good academic standing will continue to be advised by their former Freshman Seminar instructor. Students in academic difficulty will be advised by the SYI Coordinator.
  • Career Counseling: SYI works with Advisement and Career Services to provide guidance in choosing careers and majors. SYI organizes other events where second-year students can talk with advisors, faculty, and practitioners of different professions to help students gain more information about their career and major options.
  • Sophomore Events: SYI includes a number of events tailored to the specific needs of second-year students. These include celebrations and recognition of the achievements of second-year students.
  • Academic Support: Supplemental Instruction (SI) targets courses in which second-year students typically enroll and in which they often experience difficulty.
